The Supreme Court of India has said that “any authorities needs to cognize however galore radical are backward and request welfare”. But the Court assumes, similar astir people, that caste indicates the surviving standards of its people. It is simply a information that each caste, from the supposedly ‘highest’ to the supposedly ‘lowest’, has the precise affluent to the precise poor. The caste census volition lone assistance the politicians astatine predetermination time, not assistance the authorities find who needs economical assistance. The Court seems to beryllium cleverly, but unwisely, backing the government’s caste census, saying that the authorities needs to cognize who is affluent and who is mediocre (Front page, “SC says thing incorrect successful caste count, rejects plea against move”, May 21).
The authorities should devise a strategy by which it finds radical surviving beneath the poorness line, irrespective of caste, religion, portion and language. And assistance them.

Leaders excessively are quality similar the remainder of america and they are rather wrong their rights to springiness a idiosyncratic interaction to their diplomatic encounters if they take to (Front page, May 21).
